Bit slow init?...

Heard it on Radio 1 this morning, I thought it was a bit slow and drab to be honest and personaly think they should always just re-word 3 Lions and jazz that up a bit because its practically Englands offical song anyhows.
Rest assured, come footy time - 3 Lions is whats being sung.

rah rah rah says I !

p.s. The use of all font styles over the word 'always' .makes me right automatically

Most footy 'anthems' are complete **** sung by *****.

The exceptions are:

1) All the Spurs ones.

2) World in Motion.

3) 3 Lions - its ok, but pales in comparison to WiM.

The problem is that Embrace are trying to hard to do a credible footy anthem. It's an ok one, I can't see it appealing to the masses in the same way as 3 lions though

It doesn't help that Embrace are a bit poo.

Getaway · Post by **Getaway** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:09 pm

I quite like Embrace, I quite like this song, but I can't seem in any way to connect it to football what so ever, still it is better than most of them.

Has anyone heard the song Campione, by the swedish artist E-Type?

I don't know if it was the official song of EC 2000, or if it was just the swedish EC song - but oh hellzor it's teh best footy song evar.
